I don't have a lot of sympathy for the players in this ordeal. I have generally sided with owners in the previous NBA labor issues though. Having guaranteed contracts and the players being promised 50% of all league revenue is a sweetheart deal. Outside of MLB (which is dying a horrific yet slow death), they have the best deal. So if the season is delayed, I would want a lockout to send a msg. It is a perfect time to do it - less risk of lost revenue since Covid is already killing that.
I just want a consistent cap so that the Mavs perfect window doesn't get screwed by all of this!
Honestly, I see it happening if the NBPA pushes it so far that they can't start on Christmas.
Also, this is the danger of giving in to demands in general. As soon as you do, the goal line shifts and the next thing is "the worst thing imaginable and has to go".
